Diamond drilling program under way at Leviathan Metals' Central Project, Kalahari Copper Belt, Botswana

Leviathan Metals Commences 10,000m Drill Program at Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt, Targeting Khoemacau-Style Copper

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Jun 02, 2026 · 08:30 LVX · 0.7 Leviathan Metals Corp.
Executive Summary
  • Leviathan Metals Corp. has commenced a 10,000-meter diamond core drilling program at its 100%-owned Central Project in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt.
  • The program targets sediment-hosted copper mineralization at the D’Kar-Ngwako Pan Formation (DKF-NPF) contact, specifically within the Hyena Hills dome structure.
  • The drilling strategy aims to replicate the scale and style of MMG’s adjoining Khoemacau property, which hosts ~94Mt Measured & Indicated resources @ 1.8% Cu.
  • Initial holes will precisely locate the DKF-NPF contact, followed by systematic testing of prioritized structural targets identified via recent airborne electromagnetic and ground magnetic surveys.
  • The program utilizes Mitchell Drilling International’s Sandvik DE710 rig, leveraging extensive regional experience.
Material Impact
  • The drilling commencement is a logical and expected progression following the completion of the high-resolution helicopter-borne EM survey in April 2026, which identified over 20 km of prospective DKF-NPF contact.
  • While the news confirms execution of the exploration plan, it does not contain new geological data or assay results. The market impact is therefore incremental and aligns with previous expectations.
  • The focus on the Hyena Hills dome adjacent to MMG’s Khoemacau provides a strong geological narrative, but without drill results, the materiality remains routine. The company has already funded this phase with the $10 million closing in May 2026.

Company Overview
  • Leviathan Metals is a pre-revenue junior explorer focused on copper, uranium, and polymetallic deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions, primarily Botswana and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
  • Flagship Project: The Central Copper Project in Botswana's Kalahari Copper Belt. It sits on ~24-30 km of the DKF-NPF stratigraphic contact, directly adjacent to MMG’s world-class Khoemacau deposits. The geological model targets sediment-hosted stratiform copper similar to Khoemacau.
  • Secondary Assets: The Foča Project in Bosnia hosts high-grade near-surface polymetallic (Pb-Zn-Ag) mineralization, and the Serule Uranium Project lies down-dip of the Letlhakane uranium deposit.
  • The company recently amalgamated with Cura Exploration Botswana in November 2025, significantly expanding its land package and adding the Central and Serule projects.
